Ezra and Russell

A group of Mexicans were entering, illegally, through the desert into the U.S. They came across the body of a man who had died trying to do the same thing. They packed in the body to a road known to be patrolled by border control and left it there. The best they felt they could do. Why am I telling this story? The dead man was coming back from visiting his family in Mexico to milk at a farm in the area. I wondered why these people didn't just enter the U.S. legally. Found that it is well over twelve years to get a green card if you live in Mexico and have a close relative already in the U.S. who will agree to sponsor you. Otherwise, you better have an advanced education or specialized skills in order to get in. I don't know the answers to the immigration dilemma - but I find myself relating to a guy that just wanted to milk cows.
